An elite U.S. Air Force pilot was just arrested because he did the one thing you really shouldn't do after leaving the service, which is training your Chinese military counterparts, allegedly.

The man's name is Gerald Eddie Brown Jr. and he had a fairly solid career in the U.S. military for 24 years starting in 1972.

He spent 24 years in the U.S. Air Force, and reportedly he had vast experience with the F-35

stealth jet as well as with America's nuclear delivery systems. Here was how the DOJ, the Department

of Justice, described his service. Quote, Brown served for over 24 years in the U.S. Air Force,

leaving active duty in 1996 with a rank of major. During his lengthy military career, Brown commanded

sensitive units with responsibility for nuclear weapons delivery systems, led combat missions,

and served as a fighter pilot instructor and simulator instructor on a variety of fighter and attack aircraft,

including the F4 Phantom 2, the F-15 Eagle, the F-16 Fighting Falcon, and the A-10 Thunderbolt 2 Wartog.

Now, Gerald did retire in the year 1996, but he didn't totally step away.

After retiring, he worked as a commercial pilot for cargo planes,

but he also continued to work with the U.S. Air Force in the capacity of both an advisor as well as an

instructor. Quote, after retiring, Brown then served as a commercial cargo pilot and most recently

as a contract simulator instructor for two different U.S. air defense contractors

training U.S. military pilots on flying the A-10 and the F-35 Lightning 2 Joint Strike Fighter.

But apparently, Mr. Gerald Brown was also moonlighting on the side by training Chinese military

pilots for the PLA, which is, again, one of those few things that you really should not do as a

retired Air Force pilot, which is training our biggest adversary on our flight tactics.

But that's what happened, allegedly.

And here's where I need to introduce to you another man.

This man's name is Stephen Sue Bin.

And if that name sounds weirdly familiar to you, that's because back in the year
